    Sallows is an expert on the theory of magic squares [1] and has invented several variations on them, including alphamagic squares [2] [3] and geomagic squares. [4] The latter invention caught the attention of mathematician Peter Cameron who has said that he believes that "an even deeper structure may lie hidden beyond geomagic squares" [5]

    Bernard Frénicle de Bessy (c. 1604 – 1674), was a French mathematician born in Paris, who wrote numerous mathematical papers, mainly in number theory and combinatorics.He is best remembered for Des quarrez ou tables magiques, a treatise on magic squares published posthumously in 1693, in which he described all 880 essentially different normal magic squares of order 4.

    All of the squares given by Nagarjuna are 4×4 magic squares, and one of them is called Nagarjuniya after him. Nagarjuna gave a method of constructing 4×4 magic square using a primary skeleton square, given an odd or even magic sum. [18] The Nagarjuniya square is given below, and has the sum total of 100.

  5. Geometric magic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_magic_square

    A geometric magic square, often abbreviated to geomagic square, is a generalization of magic squares invented by Lee Sallows in 2001. [1] A traditional magic square is a square array of numbers (almost always positive integers ) whose sum taken in any row, any column, or in either diagonal is the same target number .

    The earliest extant Chinese illustration of 'Pascal's triangle' is from Yang's book Xiángjiě Jiǔzhāng Suànfǎ (詳解九章算法) [1] of 1261 AD, in which Yang acknowledged that his method of finding square roots and cubic roots using "Yang Hui's Triangle" was invented by mathematician Jia Xian [2] who expounded it around 1100 AD, about 500 years before Pascal.

    He also constructed certain types of magic squares related to the Copernicus magic square. [5] Initially his ideas were not taken seriously by Indian mathematicians, and his results were published largely in low-level mathematics journals or privately published, but international fame arrived when Martin Gardner wrote about Kaprekar in his ...
